That one is like mine and the raised letters in the firepot say "clay before using". If that is not done, the cast iron will burn out. I am a retired tool and die maker.
Thank you, exactly you control the heat 100% and you can go from warming a beverage to welding temperature in very short time. They’re handy for a multitude of projects! Thanks again
Thank you, it’s definitely a good forge. I haven’t really played around with different ways only to use a crucible with the kasenit in a campfire and also hot oil dipping which takes 2 heats and the second heat is dipped in room temperature water until the item is cool. They both work but the way I do it is quick and efficient for the time that I have. I’m always looking for cool ways to do things especially historically correct ones.
I used Kasen-it but I believe it’s not available anymore. There is a new compound that is used but I can’t give a review on it because I haven’t used it. It’s called Cherry-Red case hardening. You’re most welcome buddy!
@@mountainghost4523 I have used Cherry Red on several frizzens with satisfactory results... probably not quite as good as Kasenit... but it was pulled from the market due to cyanide content...
